I believe that when one starts education, before he/she is taught concepts, there should be a mandatory and a brilliant course on logic. This should be done so that those who are interested can build their own logical explanations of the concepts that they are taught and can take every lesson with a pinch of logical salt.

Philosophers of the world, come out of your ivory towers and speak to children. Speak to them of logic and reasoning in a way they understand and in a manner which appeals them when they are most impressionable, when they are starting their journey in a world full of contradictions. You owe this to the world. This should be the sum total of your work.

It is one of those moments when ideas keep you awake even when the body is resigning. It is the force of one such idea which has me sitting up on my laptop, writing this post at 3 AM in the night. It has to be done. It should be done. It is worth a try if nothing else. Things can always work out. One has to make them work out. It can be extremely exciting!

It has a purpose – a purpose which makes sense and which will help me sail through forever and ever. The desire is there! Technology will come. It will catch up in the future. May be it is there already!

I bought my first car yesterday – A white Maruti Suzuki Alto Lx2003 model with AC and no power steering or power windows. It cost me 1.35 Lakhs 🙂 Got it from Carnation – A Jagdish Khattar initiative (http://www.carnation.in/)

It’s a very old car but I am not concerned since I am not planning on driving it forever :P. If I had a little more money I would have spent it to get a better Zen or something but given that budget was a constraint, this seemed good enough.

Haha. Almost, 12 years ago, my father had also bought a car – white, maruti with AC and no power steering and power windows for 1,35,000. It was an 800. What a coincidence. That car was very good though.
